I've been cataloging and converting my CBR/CBZ files to EPUB using Calibre (to use with my rooted Nook Color) because the resulting file is significantly smaller than the original. I assume this is because Calibre is downsizing the images to fit my ereader when it does the conversion. The only problem is that none of the EPUB apps for Android seem to support zooming images, so sometimes the text is just too small to read well. There are several good comic readers out, however, that DO zoom.

So what I'm looking for is an application that will allow me to select a CBZ/CBR file and reduce the resolution of it WITHOUT having to unzip it, reduce each page separately (or even by batch), then rezip it into a new native CBR/CBZ (not EPUB) - preferably something that would do batch processing of multiple CBZ/CBR files. That way I can use the comic reader app rather than an EPUB reader app, and benefit from the zooming they provide.

Alternately, does anyone know of an Android EPUB reader that supports zooming images?

Thanks.
